Judge Holman on the Labor Movement.

Washington, June 2O.-Judge Hol-
man, of Indiana, in nm interview here,
is quoted rs follows upon the subject
of the labor movement: 1T is one
great political problem of the future.
Nobody can foretell what influence
it will have next year. While there
are differe nces and discussions among
the labor organizations they will all,
probably, unite next year upon ma
tioual ticket, and then it will remain
to he seen whether they hurt the
Democrats or Republicans most. Ii
they draw heaviest from the Republi
cans so much better for us, but they
may cut deepest into our vote. 1t is
= Increment that renders me uneasy.
l think myself that the Democratic
party is in good shape, and the al
ministration is strong with the peO-
pie, because it is sincere and honest
in guarding the peoples interests,
etc. but this labor movement may up
set all sort Of calculations.

SHIP US YOUR COTTON,

We have long contended that our
Cotton Market is the best in the State
and every season the fact is more and
more manifest. This season, how
ever, has so far afforded the best il
lustration. We have received more
Cotton, sold it quicker and given bet
ter satisfaction than any season since
we have been in business. All classes
of shippers have given us trial this
season, and all classes have been
pleased with the result.
If you have not yet favored us with
shipments, we would strongly urge
you to turn your next consignment
to us. We have the means and fl
cilitjes to please You. Ii you are
shipping elsewhere, we ask you to
divide you shipments with us and
compare results. If you have ship
ped us before, and have been induced
to quit for some cause or other, you
may be sure that the cause was more
apparent than real, and all we want
is, candid explanation and fair OPP
portunity to make things right and
satisfactory. We don pretend to be
infallible, but we do claim that on
account of our long experience in the
business, thorough training and per-
feet organization, we can obtain the
very best results ont of lot of Cot
ton, if anybody can.
We would be glad to correspond with
parties interested in Cotton, and send stem
ellis and daily quotations on application, free
of charge.

A Sad And AwfuI Tragedy.

Last Wednesday, about p, m.
Billy Grigsby, proprietor OF the I'm
ique saloon on Houston street, shot
and killed Mike Hdggerty. They
were on friendly terms and no cause
can be assigned other than the faci
that Grigsoy had been drinking aud
was laboring under alcoholic delirium
when ho committed tho deed. Mike
Haggoriy, the man killed, was about
20 years of ago and married about
three months ago. Grigsby, also "A
married man, has always borne the
reputation of II peaceablo man. IL is
said that some private troubles lately
drove him to drink and the result is
the killing of his friend. The coron-
er's jury returned the following YER
dict:
We, the Jury, fnd that Mike Hag-
gerty came TO his death in the city
of Fort Worth on tho Odd day Of
June, 1857, in the Unique saloon,
from the effect of pistol shot fired
Dy w. l.. tflSsDy.
The above condensed account OF u
most fearful instance of runs doings,
we copy from the Fort Worth South
West of last week. Right apropos
of this, tho Fort Worth Gazette-not
prohibition paper-the next day
proceeded to submit the following
poser.
A CASE FOR JUDGE COOK.
Judge Gustave Cook is noted for
the extent of criminal practice before
his court. 1t is said that he tries
moro criminals than any other Judge
in the state of Texas.
When Judge Cook delivered his
anti-prohibition speech in Fort
Worth, he enunciated the doctrine
that murder was not committed when
one man was killed by another who
was 'crazed by liquor Judge Cook was
answering the assertions OF prohibs
that the liquor traffic was promotive
of crime, and the distinguished jurist
quoted from Blackstone and Roberts
to prove that murder could not be
committed by II drunken man.
Yesterday Fort Worth saloon
keeper, "crazed by liquor shot
man to death without provocation, OF
aught of cause that could be tortured
into provocatlon.
Now, if Judge Gustave Cook were
on the bench when this man was
brought to trial how would Judge
Cook charge the jury?
The Gazette is not making q pro-
hibition argument, but is addressing
n question to n Judge of law and fact.
And if Grigsby is not q murderer
who or what is the murderer Of Hag-
gerty? If Grigsby is not guilty who
or what is guilty? If Grigsby
should not be punished, who or what
should be punished, for denying to
poor Haggerty bis constitutional
right to life?
If Grlgsby is not responsible, he is
not guilty. But if Grigsby is not
responsible, who or what is response
BILE? for in the responsibility lies the
guilt of Haggertys killing.
We need scarcely say that the
liquor seller is clearly the guilty party
under tho above statement of law and
San Marcos free press. [volume] (San Marcos, Tex.) 1877-1892, 1887-06-30
WASHINGTON LETTER.
(Frcm Our Regular Correspondent

(Frcm Our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, June goth 1887
In religious circles last Sunday the
attraction was the Rev. Sam Small,
the Georgia Evangelist, who preach
ed most effectively and in q style pic
turesquely original, to two immense
congregations, hundreds standing
and hundreds being turned away
Mr.. Small's witty sallies drew forth
involuntary applause and recalled the
sayings of the noted character he
formerly portrayed; "Old ST." OF the
Atlanta Constitution.
The burst of martial feeling over
the iecident of the confederate battle
flags is most unfortunate and it ap-
pears was unnecessarily magnifed,
perhaps for political purposes, as is
evidenced by Mr.. Shermans bitter
remarks on the subject. 1 think the
great republic of modern times might
well follow in that respect, the ex-
ample of the great republic OF
ancient times, who decreed no
triumphs to generals for victories
won over their own fellow citizens,
and permitted no monuments to be
built to perpetuate the unhappy
memories of civil wars. L believe it
would be best for the reunited re-
public to gather all of our battle-hags,
both Federal and Confederate, and
make a big bon fire of them, to the
tune of the "Star Spangled Banner
and "Dixie," played by the Boys in
Blue, and the Boys in Gray in front
of the White House. Such gener
GUS, magnanimous deeds would be
applauded by enthusiastic thousands
and be the pyre of all sectional ami
mosities, for peace hath her victories
not less than war"
At last, Speaker Carlisle has yelled
ed to the pressure upon him OF Con
gressmen and business men and
openly announces himself in favor of
an extra session of Congress. But,
it is extremely doubtful whether the
President deems the financial situa-
ton of the country warrants n measure
so extraordinary. He has firmly op-
posed an extra session since the quos-
ton was first agitated, and he is q
man who very seldom changes his
position. Therefore, I think there
will be no extra session. Another
view Of the matter, is, that it would
afford the Republicans a much covet-
ed opportunity to make political
capital, and of course their leaders
are in the affirmative.
The colored people of Washington
were both surprised and delighted
the other night by President Cleve-
land attending the commencement of
their high school and distributing
the diplomas. BY such little courte-
sizes the President has made himself
immensely popular with our colored
citizens.
